The European Commission for the Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (EuFMD)

Component 2.3 North Africa: Technical support to REMESA in achieving improved control of FMD

The action plan of the EuFMD is agreed upon by the Joint Permanent Committee of REMESA and delivered in close consultation with FAO RNE (Tunis Sub-Regional Office) and the OIE North African office.

The expected results are progression in management capacity for FMD control and evidence of its implementation at national level, at the request of those Members participating in REMESA, with a focus on improved national FMD control in the five North African members of REMESA (Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya). The activities will be adapted when emergency actions are needed, but will include contingency planning, vaccination strategy development, risk assessment and risk based surveillance and other associated actions in Mediterranean countries of North Africa.
